Koa - How did I meet this beautiful woman, well I met her EVERYWHERE. From coffee shops, to vanguard, to circuit riders, to worship nights, and to everywhere else I'd go she was there. It's like I woke up one day and couldn't help but notice her everywhere haha. After plenty of sightings I finally ended up in a conversation with her. Then a few months later we got engaged! Sarah - Koa and I worked at different coffee shops down the street from each other and I would drive past and see him in the mornings and he would come in as a regular at my shop, but... we didn't have our first real conversation until over a year later! I started seeing him at Circuit Riders, my school (he was friends with all my friends), and even a conference in San Clemente. In the fall of 2022 I started realizing that this was the guy I had been praying and waiting for!!!! We started hanging out in groups over winter break, he ended up at my surf beach birthday pancake flipping party, and soon after January rolled around we were already official! We got to know each other pretty quick and saw each other almost everyday until doing long distance in the summer while I was in Kauai. He visited me a few days early and proposed on the spot after 7 weeks long distance, and the rest is history!
